well maybe don't even need to have a meeting,  just a scheduled chat in the irc room
would work? makes it easier for the busier people.

 I may have been a bit too sharp in my earlier post. I just get annoyed
 at people complaining that there are no meetings, or no content on the
 website, or whatever, but who then aren't prepared to actually do
 anything about it.
 
 I haven't written anything for the website for ages, and I haven't
 been to a meeting for ages. I haven't written anything because I
 haven't had anything to write about (and the lack of anything by
 anyone else didn't help). I haven't been to a meeting because my first
 child was born just over a year ago, and at that point, my whole life
 changed :-/
 
 When we were in Cumbria, people would periodically complain that there
 were no meetings near them, but they'd never organise a meeting, and I
 got very frustrated by that. Most of the meetings that we did have
 were organised by me & Jen.
